The balance between the inertia of the Moon and the gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit with Earth.
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.

The moon keeps moving in its orbit around the Earth due to its inertia and the gravitational pull of the Earth. There is a balance between the moon's velocity and the gravitational force that keeps it in a stable orbit.

Its Axis
That's the mutual force of gravitation (gravity) between the Earth and the Moon. This, combined with the Moon's velocity (its inertia), results in the orbital path that the Moon follows.
The force of gravity between the moon and the planet is what keeps the moon in orbit around the planet. This gravitational force prevents the moon from floating away into space and keeps it in a stable orbit.
it holds the planets that orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth
The moon is held in orbit around the Earth by gravity. The gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon keeps the moon moving in a consistent path around the Earth.
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
